[PC] Damaged game disk

I got my pre-ordered copy of TW3 from Amazon UK yesterday, and managed to drop disk 1 after installing it which put a dent in the disk. The disk made a terrible noise when I put it back into the drive, so I removed it immediately.

Is it possible to get a replacement disk?

Thank goodness I got the game installed before damaging the disk as I've been waiting for years for this game. But I'm worried if I have to re-install in the future for some reason, I'm not going to get it to work.

There should have been a gog.com code in the box as well (which you'll need to register for the free DLCs anyway). With that you can also get a digital backup copy of the game.

Just go to www.gog.com/redeem and use your code.

Follow the instructions in the manual and link it to GOG. That way you can redownload whenever you want.
As for a new disc, while I cannot answer for the devs or mods, commonly it is not really possible unless you take it to your retailer (where you bought it). You can imaging if it were that simple everyone would claim to have a broken disc and try and get it for free.
In short:
1. Take disc to your retailer (where you bought it)
2. Or redownload via GOG. Instructions are in the manual.

Thanks for the replies, I didn't realize I could link it to GOG and get a digital backup.
